November Step Challenge Results!

November is over and that means the 10,000 steps a day challenge is complete! 

I was able to complete 10,000 each day for the entire month, and it was fantastic!

I loved walking outside in my neighborhood before picking up my girls from the bus or a school. I loved my walking trips to Target with Juliet in the hiking backpack and Olivia skipping along next to me, walking to our polling location to vote, walking back after having lunch with Isaac nearby our house.

Some evenings I checked my Garmin to find that I had already completed my steps, and other days I spent walking around the house trying to finish them up.

One night, right in the middle of the month, I removed my watch for bed (I don’t care for sleeping with it on) and found I only had 5000 steps. My workload that day had kept me from moving frequently and we had been away from home in the evening and came home tired. I thought as I saw the step count, ‘well it’s alright, I’ll have one missed day and I’ll get back to it tomorrow.’

So I laid down and tried to fall asleep only to be driven from bed by my loudly snoring husband. Well I can take a hint, and proceeded to get the rest of the 10,000 steps for the day while Isaac continued to snore. Fell asleep easily after that even with the snoring knowing that I hadn’t given up!

And here are the winners from the challenge:

-Most steps for entire month: Frederic Maufay (also most steps in a day at 36066)
-Most steps in a day: Nancy at 30228 steps
-Everyone who completed 10,000 everyday this month:

And great job to everyone who kept logging their steps everyday!

I hope that this challenge brought some great memories for you and some conscious time to make moving a priority during a likely cold, dark, and indulgent month 🙂

What challenge is everyone doing next?
